抓住并且创造一瞬间 克里斯·纳什

Chris Nash:Seize A Moment,and Create It

这些现代舞蹈,神情严肃,身体线条达到极至,充满了张力、意念、一小时,或者一个半小时后就停止了,谢幕了,消失了,而一张海报很可能将瞬间定格,将一出舞蹈的精粹永远保留下来,而这些海报也成了艺术本身。英国舞蹈摄影家克里斯·纳什(Chris Nash)的《瞬间凝动》成为首届上海艺穗双周——这个旨在推进前卫艺术的活动的“头牌”。他的“海报照片”诠释了现代舞蹈的感染力,不过这只是他众多作品中的一小部分。

Chris Nash.The photographer only uses a broad picture to concentrate the most unique image,showing people our understanding and representation of dancing. Since more than 20 years ago,Chris was deeply allured by modern dancing,and he began to take pictures and design posters in the field.In 1977,he took his first photograph of dancing.The maiden work,bearing the name“Helen”,won him 50 pounds worth of darkroom equipments in a photograph contest.“I like dances, sculptures and photography,and dancing photography is the best means to integrate them.”Chris said.The dancers in his photos, whether they are women or men,whether dressed or naked,all of them have a distinct touch like sculptures,with rich and unique lines and powerful expressive force.Even through the paper,viewers can clearly sense the energy and inner world that the dancers had been releasing right at that moment.
